The Stagnation of UK Politics

Helen Lewis has written a fantastic article here, echoing what many of us in politics and political watching feel. There is not much to add to this, suffice to say that nature abhors a vacuum. At some point there will be a resurgence of the Centre ground. How and when is a different matter, but it will happen when leading politicians of Centrist persuasions feel they have nothing to lose and when many who are against a hard Brexit, both Remainers and Soft Brexiters, feel that they have a positive vision offered to them of a UK that will economically prosper and is far away from Trotskyist, Monetarist, and crude so called nationalism. I hope that call will come from within the Labour Party, but it will happen. As I said, nature abhors a vacuum, and that is not threat but a promise ;-)
